Today's online world is in overdrive. Think of it as a novelty factory -- spewing out new ideas, products, and neologisms -- new words, or phrases. Take the word blog, for example, or broadband. These are now old-hat neologisms even my mother would recognize. But neologisms can also be existing words that acquire new meaning, like the term spam. Or the word friend -- that's now a verb! People friend each other on social networking sites like Facebook all the time! So what better place to look for neologisms than at a conference devoted to the "Future of the Internet", held by the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. One attendee was Judith Donath, a professor at MIT's famed Media Lab, and she came up with the term "griefer"... never heard of it? Better check this out!(more)
